While Waiting for the Dentistâ€¦â€¦.

I recently found myself sitting in the dentist chair waiting for my semi-annual cleaning to begin and had the choice of several not very up to date magazines to choose from to entertain myself while I waited. Should I find out what the stars of People magazine were doing last year , or read some beauty tips in Redbook from 2008? No! Instead I picked up the December 2009 issue of Atlanta magazine and began to find out about all the great restaurants and events I had missed out on in the past 6 months!

Fortunately, my wait was short, but I did come to a page that peaked my interest, and when I got home I went straight to the website I found in the “Thrive” section and I wanted to share it with you here. ” My ecoville” is a website template that can be purchased and used for educational purposes for states or counties. My state of Georgia has a my ecoville website and it is: www.myecoville.com/us/ga/home. There are currently 7 sites up and running for North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Michigan.

In Georgia the site is sponsored by the Georgia Recycling Coalition, and it is packed with information!

As a former Captain of Eco Etsy and one of the current leaders for the team, I am really excited to be hanging out with like minded team members to share ideas on how we can leave the least amount of carbon footprint.
